In consideration of the promises and of the mutual

1.The City of Baytown hereby agrees that all of

"3*^Stauffer and the City of Baytown recognize
that inthe past Stauffer has paid a share ofthe needed
revenue for operating the City and providing services for
its residents.It is further recognized that during the
next succeeding seven years the City of Baytown will experience
population growth,as a result of industrial expansion which
will necessitate increased revenue to provide expanded
service and facilities.In view of this increased need for
revenue,Stauffer agrees to pay the City of Baytown an
Industrial District payment on or before January 31 of each
year during the term of this agreement an amount to be
calculated on the basis of the following formula,except as
hereinafter provided in Paragraph 4:
Stauffer's Industrial District value,as defined
below,x0.06 x the propertytax rate per $100 of
assessed valuation adopted by the City Council for
the City of Baytown for financing the fiscal year
in which suchJanuary 31 due date falls.
In applying the above formula,the factor referred
to as "Stauffer's Industrial District Value"shall
be defined as:
(A)The fair market value of Stauffer's Baytown
Plant within the City's jurisdiction as of January
1 of the calendar yearnext preceding the calendar
year in which such January 31 due date falls,
less;
(B)The fair market value of that portion of
Stauffer's Baytown Plant annexed to the City of
Baytown,which is twenty (20%)percent ofthe fair
market value within the City's jurisdictional area
^\as of January 1 of the calendar year next preceding
the>calendar year in which such January 31 due
date falls,except as hereinafter provided in
Paragraph 4.
Annual payments under this Agreement shall be
calculatedby the City of Baytown in the above stated manner.
Determination of City and Industrial District fair market
values,in the above stated manner,shall be made by the
City of Baytown and approved by the Board of Equalization.
-4-
Such final fair market value as approved by the Board of
Equalization shall be subject to exception by Stauffer and
should Stauffer takeexception to the fair market value of
such property as determined by the Board and should the
Board and Stauffer be unable,through negotiations,to reach
a mutually acceptable fair market value onor before September
1 of the calendar year next preceding the calendar year in
which such January 31 due date falls,then either party may

acceptable arbitrator.The cost of such arbitrator shall be
shared equally by the City of Baytown and Stauffer,and such
arbitrator's determination shallbe final and binding unless
either party within thirty (30)days after such arbitrator's
determination is received by the parties,petitions for a
Declaratory Judgment to the Civil District Court of Harris
County,Texas,as provided for by Section 5 hereof.
Should the parties be unable to agree upon a
mutually acceptable arbitrator,each party shall nominate
one arbitrator and the arbitrators so nominated bythe
parties shall select a third arbitrator who willact with
them as a three-member arbitration panel to decide the
disagreement between the parties by the concurrence of a
majority of such panel.Such arbitrator or arbitration
panel shall determine whether thefair market value of such
property is as contended by the Board of Equalization,by
Stauffer,or some intermediate value.The cost of such
arbitration panel shall be shared equally bythe City of
Baytown and Stauffer,and such panel's determination shall
be final and binding unlesseither party within thirty (30)
days after such determination is received by the parties,
petitions for a Declaratory Judgment to the Civil District
Court of Harris County,Texas,as provided for by Section 5
hereof.
-5-
In determining the fair market value of property
and improvements as used herein,the Board of Equalization
and any arbitrator or arbitration panel shall base its
determination on the replacement cost of comparable present
dayfacilities considering and giving effect to sound engineering
valuation practices relative to service life,life expectancy,
process and functional obsolescence.
4.Stauffer and the City of Baytown recognize the
necessity of uniform application of Industrial District
provisions.Stauffer and the City further recognize that
such uniform application will require some annexations and
some disannexations of industrial areas over the period 1975
to 1977.Stauffer and the City agree that the total Industrial
District payment due January 31,1976 shall be calculated as
follows:
The total payment would consist of an ad valorem tax
applicable to that portion of Stauffer's Baytown
Plant annexed to the City as of January 1,1975
and an Industrial District payment to be determined
subtractingbyBubDfeffaeiLiuy the aforementioned ad valorem tax
from a totalamountcalculated using anad valorem
tax payment based on twenty (20%)per cent of the
market value of Stauffer's Baytown Plant within
the City's jurisdiction and an Industrial District
payment based on eighty (80%)per cent of the market
value of the plant within the City's jurisdiction
as defined in Section 3.

5.If any disagreement arises between the parties
concerning the interpretation of this Agreement or the
decisions of the arbitrator or arbitration panel provided
for hereunder,it is agreed that either of said parties may
petition any Civil District Court of Harris County,Texas,
fora Declaratory Judgment determining said controversy and
the cause shall be tried as othercivil causes in which
plaintiff must establish by a preponderance of the evidence
the correct interpretation of valuation.Pending final
.determination of said controversy,Stauffer shall pay to the
City of Baytown on the due date the same amount which it
paid to the City forthe last preceding period as to which
therewas no controversy concerning the amount owed by
Stauffer to the City.Stauffer agrees to tender the amount
of potential liability tothe registry of the Civil District
Court,Harris County,Texas,pending final determination of
the controversy beyond any further appeal.
